 Categories: Potatoes, Greens, Pork
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      1 lb Collard greens; cleaned,
           - thick stems discarded
      4 md Yukon Gold potatoes; peeled,
           - sliced 1/2" thick
      2 md Yellow onions; ends removed,
           - halved
    1/4 c  Olive oil; +2 ts, divided
      1    Link Portuguese chourico
           - (5"); in 1/4" coins
           Salt
 
  Stack the collard greens atop one another, then roll the
  leaves into a tight cylinder. Using a sharp knife, very
  thinly slice the roll crosswise to create fine strands.
  Transfer to a colander in the sink and set aside.
  
  To a medium Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, add
  the potatoes, onions, and enough cold water to cover the
  vegetables by 2 inches. When the liquid boils, turn the
  heat to medium-low, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil,
  and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with
  a fork and the onion is completely soft, 25-30 minutes.
  Using an immersion or regular blender, puree the soup.
  
  Bring a large kettle of water to a boil, then pour the
  water over the slivered greens (they will collapse,
  soften, and turn bright green). Set aside for 5 minutes
  to drain and steam slightly.
  
  Add the chouriço to the soup and cook until the slices
  are firm and their fat has rendered somewhat, 5-10
  minutes. Stir in the remaining olive oil and slivered
  greens, and cook until the greens are tender but still
  green, 2-3 minutes more. Season to taste with salt, and
  serve.
